Liberal journalists like NBC's Matt Lauer and CBS's Scott Pelley have
been acting like "whiney crybabies" recently as they lamented
Republicans daring to challenge the president for his lack of leadership
in tackling the nation's tremendous national debt. "Toughen up fellas,"
NewsBusters publisher Brent Bozell chided the liberal media on the
February 14 edition of Fox News Channel's Hannity.

The Media Research Center president and the Fox News host also
discussed how the analysts on MSNBC quickly set out to smear Marco Rubio
following his response to the State of the Union. "It's a sign of the
times that if you're a Republican giving the response" to the president
that you "have to prepare for the media onslaught" critical of the
speech." The media, Bozell noted, have failed to seriously consider the
substance of Rubio's speech, "they've just hammered him for being who he
is," while "you'll never see a Democrat hammered" like Rubio was.
